My First Apple Pie


Can't you just smell it? Can you see the steam rising?
I had to capture my first apple pie...made with apples from our little Shamrock tree! I was pretty nervous about making the crust. For some reason I have always thought that making a pie crust was some special gift that only certain people had...and that it was really really hard to pull off. Well, that's just hogwash! For all of you who have been scared to try your first pastry for fear of failure : Roll On I say! It was easy and looks pretty good so what the heck:) We will have to wait to find out how it tastes until Thanksgiving when it comes out of the freezer, however. Question is...can I actually wait that long?
Man does it smell awesome in my house right now!

These shots were taken on the Beautiful Bay Trail on Malcolm Island. This is a remote , West Coast Trail style route that covers 10kms round trip through amazing 1st and 2nd growth forest...through valleys, along ridges and overlooking the ocean below.

Im back from an amazing trip up island and have hundreds of photos to share. It is going to kill me to select just a few...

But first I will finish my August challenge for you...
